Tis the season: we're shopping, more than likely in excessive amounts. Maybe we're carolling and decorating and stoking the embers on nightly yuletide logs. We're probably consuming enough 'nog to get through the final days til Christmas.

In honour of the holiday, we'd like to share a couple wayback-playback Christmas cover recorded at HELM Recording.

Though 2017 isn't quite over, we've got some big things planned for 2018. Building up a community of creative original artists is number one on the docket.

So, we've put a little space together for local musicians to come in and play an acoustic set or two.

We're going to be organizing our January and February schedules soon. So, if you're interested hit us up on any of our social media channels and send us your stuff. We'll be posting submissions regularly on the Get Loud Blog as well.

A solid band that everyone should check out. David had the pleasure of recording their current EP, Kissing, at Helm, right here in the shop. Without even hearing the record, you know it's gonna sound sensual. While their music is great, the stop-motion animation in their videos is even better. Give it a look/listen below – word on the street is vocalist/guitarist Carter Jarvis whipped up the video sometime during elementary school. And we dig that large. It's very cool to see these guys doing their thing.

One of our early submissions to the blog, check out The Soviet Influence. A solid effort in indie rock, The Soviet Influence is a musical project spearheaded by Peter Snow who brings together "various acquaintances" to organize the full sound. Head over to bandcamp and check them out: https://thesovietinfluence.bandcamp.com/

If you haven't seen it yet, we've put up the first volume of outtakes from the first three Brado's Breakdown episodes. If you haven't seen Brado breakdown the complexities of various pieces of gear, shame on you! But you can see the outtakes and the episodes on our YouTube channel. Check out the fun here:

So, our very own Brado, of Brado's Breakdown fame, is now famous for another legitimate reason!

Very recently, his band, Old East, has been honoured with their very first fan/lyric video. A dedicated Old Eastern, as Brado refers to his numerous fans, in ARGENTINA, translated the lyrics to "Scrapers" in SPANISH!

We're happy to announce the launch of our new blog! We'll be posting all the crazy content that comes out of the shop here. We've got a lot of musicians on our team who are constantly creating their own music all. Check out this space to see the amazing stuff coming out of Get Loud.

We also want to invite other musicians to send in any original material that they're working on. We're all about sharing the love so send us in what you're up to and will do our best to post it on the site! Holler at us via Facebook and Instagram!
